PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Higher Module Efficiency
Renogy's 550 watt monocrystalline solar panel provides an average of 2200-2750 Watt-hours (Wh) power per day (depending on sun availability). It has passed the electroluminescence (EL) test for quality assurance. No hot spots.
More Power, Less Space
Engineered with industry-leading technologies, this high-powered 550 watt solar panel provides maximum power generation for your limited roof space. It's an economical long-term investment for utility-scale systems, solar power plants, residential and commercial applications.
Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum Frame
Corrosion-resistant aluminum frame design ensures the solar panel survives in harsh outdoor environments, including the burning sun and heavy rain. Provides an extended period of work time without damage or loss of performance.
Pre-Drilled Holes for Easy Installation
Renogy solar panels are equipped with back frame and ground mounting holes, ready for installation. They are easy to mount and secure, ideal for off-grid, on-grid, and hybrid solar systems.
Extreme Weather Endurance
Withstand up to 5400 Pa of heavy snow load and up to 2400 Pa of high wind. Provide excellent durability in a harsh environment.
Extended Durability
IP68 rated waterproof junction box and solar connectors ensure that water and dust will not enter during extended outdoor use. The built-in bypass diodes protect the solar cells from overheating, allowing the solar panel to perform during accidental shading by bypassing the underperforming cells.

Is each panel 550W or a whole combination? What about the size and weight?
Each panel is rated at 550W. The dimension of one panel is 89.7 x 44.6 x 1.4 inches, and the weight is 62.8 lbs.
How many kWh a day does this solar panel produce?
If your solar panels are exposed to 5 hours of direct sunlight per day, it can provide an average of 2200-2750 Watt-hours (2.2 kWh - 2.75 kWh) of electricity (depending on sun availability).
Why choose this high-powered 550W module rather than 5-6 100W solar panels?
High-powered solar panels are primarily used for utility-scale systems, solar power plants, solar farms, residential and commercial applications. Compared with 100 Watt solar panels, these high-powered 550 Watt modules provide maximum power generation for your limited roof space. They also allow the use of fewer mounting systems, including wiring cables, screws, or mounting brackets.
Can these panels be used on a grid-tied system?
Sure, these solar panels are grid-tied. These high-powered 550 Watt solar panels are on/off grid ready. They work well with on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid systems. But please note that when using them on on-grid and hybrid systems, we recommend that you contact a licensed solar installer familiar with on-grid/hybrid setups.
How should I connect solar panels to my electrical circuit (series vs parallel)?
Solar panels can be connected in series or in parallel to meet your electrical circuit size and power demand.
Connecting solar panels in series will have the effect of adding up their operating voltage output, while system current output will be the same as that for one panel.
While connecting solar panels in parallel will have a different effect. The output current will add up to be the system output current, while system output voltage will be the same as the output voltage of one solar panel.
To meet your power system's optimum power output and system rating, you can use parallel and series connections.
Do these panels have pre-drilled holes on the back?
Yes, they have. The pre-drilled holes help you to install the solar panel quickly and securely.
Can this solar panel be adapted to a 12V Marine Battery or 48V Lithium Battery?
Yes, it can. The optimum operating voltage of this 550W solar panel is 41.97V. So it's suitable to use for charging your 12V Marine Battery and 48V Lithium Battery (by connecting at least two solar panels in series). Please note that you need to connect the solar panel(s) to a Charge Controller supporting a 12V or 48V system.
What do I need to have to complete my off-grid solar power system?
Here’s a list of all the equipment required for a functioning off-grid solar system:
Solar Panels, Solar Charge Controller, Inverter(s), Battery, Mounting and Racking System, Wiring Cables, and Fuses. Please note that Renogy 550 Watt Monocrystalline Solar Panel is highly compatible with major micro inverters.
